Ray Rice, Joe Flacco sit out practice on Wednesday

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, who suffered a knee injury in Monday night’s win at Detroit, did not practice on Wednesday, according to the team’s official injury report.

Flacco appeared to suffer the injury when hit low by Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy in the fourth quarter. The Ravens have said Flacco will be limited in practice this week.

Another key Ravens offensive starter also missed practice on Wednesday, as running back Ray Rice sat out with a thigh injury. It’s the first time Rice has been on the injury report since Week Four, when he was listed with a hip injury.

Rice racked up 56 yards on 12 carries in the victory at Detroit. Earlier Wednesday, his comments about his long-term future in the game drew some attention.

The Ravens host the Patriots on Sunday afternoon. Per NFL rules, Baltimore will release another injury report on Thursday and Friday.
